Bennd 2022 Holiday Gift Guide

· ·

The Bennd 2022 Holiday Gift Guide is here, curated with intention by our Founder, Heather Parkin.

'As I pause to reflect on the past ten months, I am filled with so much gratitude for our community. Small businesses have taken quite a hit this year in this ever-changing economy, and it is because of you that Bennd is still here. I thank you all for the incredible support.

In this year's gift guide, I wanted to feature some of my favorite women-owned small businesses. These inspiring women have poured their hearts and souls into creating brands that lift the world up to be a better place. So please shop with intention this Holiday season and support small brands like us so we can continue bringing you unique one-of-a-kind offerings.'

In love and gratitude,
~Heather Parkin

Gifts To Be Worn With Love

1.) I can't live without my Jenna Bee handbags. Inspired by vintage 1970’s basket bags that Jenna fell in love with at flea markets. These handcrafted bags are a labor of love and a beautiful blend of two cultures- Kenya meets California. The sisal baskets are handmade in Kenya from pure, sustainably-sourced sisal fibre and finished off in Southern Califonia with the highest-quality vegetable tanned leather. Make sure to check out the Mudcloth totes too, they are a great everyday bag! Everything sells out fast, so make sure to grab yours before they are gone!

2.) Our Bennd Mala Collection was created while traveling throughout India. I had visions that our medicinal threads would encapsulate the same vibrational frequencies as semi precious stones. Each Labradorite stone stone and medicinal Harda thread meet harmoniously together to awaken your soul's purpose and manifest the life of your dreams.

This Papessa Necklace is one of my favorites, hancrafted from stonware and natural leather.
